TIME‘s Bryan Walsh declared the environment would be the real victim of overpopulation. In his article “Zero Population Growth = Healthier Planet?,” Tim Wall of Discovery News wrote, “A stable number of humans on the planet doesn’t necessarily mean less impact on the environment. But it helps.” Climate change author Mary Ellen Harte and Anne Erhlich, policy coordinator for Stanford’s Center for Conservation Biology, asked the question, “The world’s biggest problem?” then answered with “too many people” in the LA Times. Reuters Nina Chestney recently reported that 100 million people will die by 2030 due to anthropogenic climate change wreaking havoc on the planet, while at the same time, U.S. carbon emissions are at a 20-year low.
One Washington Post reader even wrote, “Living within our global means will require a radical drop in the Earth’s population, starting now,” in an op-ed the organization saw fit to publish.
These articles never admit it, but the point is not to educate people on the environment and population growth. The real design is programming us to accept population control. The real meaning behind it?
Eugenics.
Dropping Birth Rates
The mainstream media always tosses out a lot of broad, vague concepts about how the world is overpopulated to the total detriment of the environment, as if it is just an accepted, incontrovertible fact.
Are we in dire straights? Is the Earth becoming so overburdened by the burgeoning human population that it’s about to plummet out of space?
No. Not even close. In fact, when the actual data is considered, the only thing dropping, and fast, are human birth rates.
Many countries’ have zero or even negative population growth, with birth rates below national replacement rates — the degree upon which a population replaces itself.
As it stands, the Western European countries of Germany, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Italy, and Sweden have total fertility rates below the replacement rate. Denmark saw 4,400 fewer children born in 2011 than in 2010, with projections in 2012 on track for the nation having its lowest birth rate on record since 1988.
Canada’s birth rate fell to 10.5 per 1,000 people in 2002, the lowest it had been since 1921. New figures in 2011 showed it had dipped even further to 10.28. Australia’s birth rate decline over the past two decades is so worrisome to its government that it introduced “extensive changes” to taxes and benefits that would assist families and encourage growth.
China, a nation typically (but incorrectly) called out as experiencing a continuous population boon comparative to rabbits, has seen its birth rates decline from 16.12 per 1,000 people in 2000 to 12.31 in 2012. Mexico’s population explosion is now a myth similar to China’s; in 2010, The Economist declared the country’s birth rate to be in “free fall.”
Russia’s 2012 birth rate was lower at 10.94 per 1,000 people than its death rate at 16.03 per 1,000 people. Russia has the second highest death rate of any country in the world.
In 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared South Korea to have the world’s lowest birth rate for the second year in a row; North Korea’s birth rates were also in steep decline, from 20.43 per 1,000 people in 2000 to 14.51 per 1,000 people in 2012. Japan’s government is now estimating that if birth rates in the country continue to decline on the same trend as seen in the past few decades, the nation’s population will shrink 30 percent by 2060.
Morocco, Syria, and Saudi Arabia’s fertility rates have all declined nearly 60 percent overall. Singapore’s birth rates dropped so low in 2012 (1.2 per 1,000 people), the nation’s Prime Minister’s office released a paper to combat the “serious” issue entitled, “Our Population Our Future.”
While birth rates for both boys and girls are dropping in India, baby girl births are showing a much sharper decline than baby boys. Poland officially has one of the lowest birth rates in the world as well.
Finally, American birth rates have fallen to the lowest levels since the Great Depression, with the 2011 fertility rate being the lowest reported in all of U.S. History.
The highest birth rates in 2012 were reported in the African nations of Niger and Uganda, but these two countries also have some of the lowest overall life expectancy rates at 54 and 53 years respectively as when compared with the U.S. or the U.K., where life expectancy rates are nearly 30 years higher.
According to a population growth study conducted by University of Minnesota Ecology Professor Clarence Lehman, “Human population growth has turned ‘a very sharp corner’ and is now slowing, on its way to leveling off in the next century.”
Rising Disease Rates
While birth and fertility rates are dropping en masse, other figures are rising just as quickly.
WHO has estimated that Alzheimer’s and other debilitating dementias effect 24.3 million people and are rising in developing countries; WHO has announced this number is now expected to double every 20 years. (CONTINUE READING) (WATCH: OVERPOPULATION IS A MYTH)
